Description
Late antique muckraking is on full display in Procopius' six-volume History of the Wars. Written by Procopius, a lawyer and adviser to the emperor, this work recounts the Persian Wars, the Vandalic War, and the Gothic War, providing a detailed account of military history, peoples, and places. Procopius' diligent and careful narration of facts and events makes for a compelling read, with a critical eye turned towards the empire's enemies and a bold critique of Emperor Justinian.
